This study explores the extent to which entrepreneurship education (EE) impacts individual political attributes at the level of the individual student. The rationale here is EE’s alignment with an emancipatory principle that can also be found in Critical Pedagogy (CP). This emancipatory principle resonates with the individual recognizing their plac...

The meteoric rise of entrepreneurship education in higher education continues apace. This expansion has however only recently begun to elicit a more critical approach as to its nature and purpose. Using Critical Pedagogy, and specifically Freire's work, we compare aspects of Critical Pedagogy to Entrepreneurship Education drawing attention to five...

Adopting Suchman’s (1995) conceptualisation of legitimacy within organisations, this study seeks to understand firstly, how entrepreneurship education itself has been legitimised, secondly, how entrepreneurship educators are legitimised, and lastly, how pedagogical approaches in EE are legitimised. The theoretical framework for the paper distinguis...

This paper seeks to explore the relationship between two educational frameworks: EntreComp, the European entrepreneurship competency framework (Bacigalupo et al., 2016) and GreenComp, the European sustainability competency framework (Bianchi et al., 2022). At first sight the relationship is just a matter of competency addressing entrepreneurship an...

It is no longer possible to convincingly argue that entrepreneurship education (EE), its practice or underpinning theory are nascent. As interest in entrepreneurship on the part of policymakers and scholars has grown rapidly in the last two decades, so has the literature on entrepreneurship education (EE).

The relationship between entrepreneurship education and the development of students’ employability presents an area of ongoing interest to those engaged in delivering and promoting entrepreneurship education.

This chapter makes a case for the examination of tourism employment in a Nordic context. It briefly outlines the policy relevance of tourism employment before describing how Nordic countries share labour market characteristics and policy contexts, while also drawing attention to differences. Brief reviews of tourism and tourism employment relating...

Viewed through a politico-economic lens, Nordic countries share what is often referred to as the ‘Nordic model’, characterised by a comprehensive welfare state; higher spending on childcare; more equitable income distribution; and lifelong-learning policies. This edited collection considers these contexts to explore the complex nature of tourism em...

In this chapter, we review and comment on some of the common themes that have threaded their way throughout the text. We highlight similarities and differences in areas pertinent to tourism employment such as decent work, different facets of migration, youth employment and education, the precarity of tourism work and employment relations. The chapt...

Reflection is a key component of learning. However, getting students to reflect critically and in-depth can present a challenge. In this exploratory study we show how using reflective video clips can trigger and support reflection in entrepreneurship education. Data from 77 reflective video clips from a cohort of BA students in Denmark and Finland...

The education to work transition, sometimes casually referred to as ‘from learning to earning’, constitutes a major step for the youth on their journey into adulthood. Successfully taking this step used to be taken for granted for the majority of youth. Today however, and not just because of the recent economic turmoil, this step provides a challen...

This aim of this book was to establish a baseline of information on youth employment in tourism and hospitality, as well as to review the nature and determinants of youth employment in the sector. In doing so it has covered a broad body of literature and, on occasion, been quite critical in the process, notably in relation to educational policy but...

The purpose of this chapter is to provide a baseline understanding of the scope of youth employment in tourism and hospitality. The chapter begins by defining youth employment in tourism and hospitality. Following the provision of the commonly accepted statistical definition of youth as it applies to labour markets attention turns to the concept of...

Roan and Diamond (2003) claim that labour market policy in Australia has focussed on the provision of employment and the preparation of youth for employment but entirely neglected quality of working life issues. The same may be said for other developed economies’ labour market policies. In the anguish to get youth into work, which is understandable...

This study benchmarks corporate social responsibility policies and practices of ten internatio...

This study draws on data provided by the International Labour Organization (ILO). It attempts to begin to address the issue of tourism employment by focussing on the most fundamental aspects of the employment relationship: wages. At the heart of capitalism lies the concept of exchange. Workers sell their labour to firms in return for wages, which a...

There is increasing pressure for corporations to disclose their sustainability management practices. Often this takes place through corporate social and environmental reports, and companies leading on good CSR practice now allow access to an audit of the information contained within these reports. A recent KPMG study (KPMG International, 2008) has...

To understand tourism and hospitality students' career paths into higher education, interviews with twenty final year undergraduate students at five UK universities were undertaken.

This paper draws upon interview data from 15 graduates, all of whom had established their own business within five years of grad...

Purpose This paper aims to address the need for a re‐focused research agenda in relation to graduate entrepreneurship. An important theme for some years has been the effort to monitor attitudes and intentions of students towards starting up their own businesses. It is timely, however, to raise some questions about both the impact of this research a...

The main purpose of the exploratory research discussed in this paper was to generate insights into the complexity of the career-making processes involved in the transition from being a student to starting up a business. Using story-telling interviews, data were collected from fifteen graduates based in the Yorkshire region of the UK. Qualitative th...

Cooper (2002) identified that the development of the tourism curriculum has not sufficiently taken into account insights from educational theory. While generally true, this claim cannot be made of Tribe's (2002) work which draws on educational concepts to underpin the philosophical foundations of the tourism curriculum. However, despite calls for g...

This paper investigates career development of tourism students with a particular focus on the role happenstance has played in determining career paths. The data show that it was often the least considered decisions, triggered by chance events that had the most profound impact on students' career trajectories. A model is presented that describes the...

Although there has been increasing recognition of the role of chance events in forming career development, little empirical research in fact exists into this phenomenon. This is surprising given that career choices are of immense consequence, not just to the individual but for society in general. Clearly, in an era of mass expansion of higher e...

Purpose – A report conducted for the Government in 2002 concluded that public policy, although rising to the challenges presented in stimulating a stronger relationship between supply and demand in the SME graduate labour market, was essentially “running blind”. SMEs were clearly playing an increasingly important role in the wider graduate labour m...
